DO YOU CARE ABOUT THE FUTURE OF ANIMALS IN THE WILD?

Colchester Zoo cares passionately about the world's threatened species and so created its charitable arm Action for the Wild in 1993, achieving its charitable status in 2004. The Charitable Trust is dedicated to assisting conservation projects worldwide. Action for the Wild supports and encourages conservation projects that address conservation priorities at both local and global levels. This is achieved through the provision of financial and technical assistance.

In the last 5 years, over £650,000 has been donated by the charity to conservation projects worldwide, and many of these projects have been supported for a number of years. In 2008, Chris Packham became the patron of Action for the Wild, offering his support, because of the proactive role that the charity plays with in situ conservation around the world.
